Better than the pictures!

We had a group of 9 guys stay here for the NCAA Tournament. The house and property were far better than the pictures showed. The house is spacious with plenty of room to spread out, even with some pretty large fellas in our group. The screened porch and outside area was incredible, and we wish we could have used it more at night but it was a little cold during our stay. The location is absolutely perfect. You wouldn't want to be anywhere else in Austin. A quick 10 minute walk and you're right in the heart of SOCO. The owner BF was very helpful, and even left us some adult beverages to start our weekend off properly. I would highly recommend this house to anyone staying in Austin. You won't be disappointed. As far as recommendations for food, drink, etc. you can't really go wrong anywhere in the area as long as you stay away from chains, which there aren't that many of thankfully. Bacon Restaurant was great (best breakfast I've ever eaten), Doc's right at the corner on Congress was a good place to watch games (good wings), BD Riley's on 6th Street was a nice Irish Pub (get the Irish Coffee with the house made Baileys whipped cream), Maria's Taco Express and Gordough's (check out the website) on Lamar, and make sure to check out all the food trucks. It's also worth the 30 minute drive to the Salt Lick BBQ. It wasn't the best BBQ I've ever had, but it was pretty darn good; and at $19.95 for all you can eat and BYOB, you can't beat it. Bring a cooler, listen to live music, and eat some good BBQ.
